PWInsider.com is saddened to report that Charles Jackson Crockett, known to the wrestling world as Jackie Crockett, passed away tonight at 7:22 PM after a month of being hospitalized.
Crockett was the lead cameraman for Jim Crockett Promotions and worked for WCW for many years after Turner Broadcasting acquired the company, all the way through the final WCW Monday Nitro. On occasion, but not often, he would handle interviewing talents for local promos as well. Jackie was very much beloved by the talents.
David Crockett commented, “It has been a long journey for Jackie and he went out his way. Tonight Jackie’s breathing was very labored and when we thought he was gone, he would come back like a wrestling false finish.”
Funeral arrangements are pending but he will be buried in Bristol, Virginia next to his brother Jim Crockett Jr. and their parents.
Everyone at PWInsider.com sends our deepest condolences to the entire Crockett family as well as Jackie's friends.
A big thank you to George Pantas for his help.
